Thu, 05 Jul 2007 08:43:57 +0000. I am the manager of a backpackers hostel in Barranco, Lima. Once again I would like to stongly suggest everyone arriving in Lima to prebook your airport transfer with your accommodation! The 'official' airport taxi business is close to mafia.
How long can or does the HIV virus remain dormant in the Human Body before it becomes AIDS virus? For the majority of patients who have HIV, the dormancy period lasts about 10 years. About 10 percent to 20 percent of patients progress to having AIDS within 5 years. It is estimated that another 5 percent to 10 percent of patients will not reach the AIDS phase for more than 15 years.
How long does HIV test last? Actual testing, including Urine, and blood tests, can take about 25 minutes, and include some basic questions, however this is not too much of your concern. What gives you anxiety is waiting for the results. After the anonymous test, you usually must return to the testing site in one to two weeks.
